This article translates Daniel Falbel’s ‘Simple Audio Classification’ article from tensorflow/keras to torch/torchaudio. The main goal is to introduce torchaudio and illustrate its contributions to the torch ecosystem. Here, we focus on a popular dataset, the audio loader and the spectrogram transformer. An interesting side product is the parallel between torch and tensorflow, showing sometimes the differences, sometimes the similarities between them.

Downloading and Importing

torchaudio has the speechcommand_dataset built in. It filters out background_noise by default and lets us choose between versions v0.01 and v0.02.

# set an existing folder here to cache the dataset
DATASETS_PATH <- "~/datasets/"

# 1.4GB download
df <- speechcommand_dataset(
  root = DATASETS_PATH, 
  url = "speech_commands_v0.01",
  download = TRUE
)

# expect folder: _background_noise_
df$EXCEPT_FOLDER
# [1] "_background_noise_"

# number of audio files
length(df)
# [1] 64721

# a sample
sample <- df[1]

sample$waveform[, 1:10]

Generator Dataloader

torch::dataloader has the same task as data_generator defined in the original article. It is responsible for preparing batches – including shuffling, padding, one-hot encoding, etc. – and for taking care of parallelism / device I/O orchestration.

In torch we do this by passing the train/test subset to torch::dataloader and encapsulating all the batch setup logic inside a collate_fn() function.

set.seed(6)
id_train <- sample(length(df), size = 0.7*length(df))
id_test <- setdiff(seq_len(length(df)), id_train)
# subsets

train_subset <- torch::dataset_subset(df, id_train)
test_subset <- torch::dataset_subset(df, id_test)

At this point, dataloader(train_subset) would not work because the samples are not padded. So we need to build our own collate_fn() with the padding strategy.

I suggest using the following approach when implementing the collate_fn():

1. begin with collate_fn <- function(batch) browser().
2. instantiate dataloader with the collate_fn()
3. create an environment by calling enumerate(dataloader) so you can ask to retrieve a batch from dataloader.
4. run environment[[1]][[1]]. Now you should be sent inside collate_fn() with access to batch input object.
5. build the logic.

collate_fn <- function(batch) {
  browser()
}

ds_train <- dataloader(
  train_subset, 
  batch_size = 32, 
  shuffle = TRUE, 
  collate_fn = collate_fn
)

ds_train_env <- enumerate(ds_train)
ds_train_env[[1]][[1]]

The final collate_fn() pads the waveform to length 16001 and then stacks everything up together. At this point there are no spectrograms yet. We going to make spectrogram transformation a part of model architecture.

pad_sequence <- function(batch) {
    # Make all tensors in a batch the same length by padding with zeros
    batch <- sapply(batch, function(x) (x$t()))
    batch <- torch::nn_utils_rnn_pad_sequence(batch, batch_first = TRUE, padding_value = 0.)
    return(batch$permute(c(1, 3, 2)))
  }

# Final collate_fn
collate_fn <- function(batch) {
 # Input structure:
 # list of 32 lists: list(waveform, sample_rate, label, speaker_id, utterance_number)
 # Transpose it
 batch <- purrr::transpose(batch)
 tensors <- batch$waveform
 targets <- batch$label_index

 # Group the list of tensors into a batched tensor
 tensors <- pad_sequence(tensors)
 
 # target encoding
 targets <- torch::torch_stack(targets)

 list(tensors = tensors, targets = targets) # (64, 1, 16001)
}

Batch structure is:

• batch[[1]]: waveforms – tensor with dimension (32, 1, 16001)
• batch[[2]]: targets – tensor with dimension (32, 1)

Also, torchaudio comes with 3 loaders, av_loader, tuner_loader, and audiofile_loader- more to come. set_audio_backend() is used to set one of them as the audio loader. Their performances differ based on audio format (mp3 or wav). There is no perfect world yet: tuner_loader is best for mp3, audiofile_loader is best for wav, but neither of them has the option of partially loading a sample from an audio file without bringing all the data into memory first.

For a given audio backend we need pass it to each worker through worker_init_fn() argument.

ds_train <- dataloader(
  train_subset, 
  batch_size = 128, 
  shuffle = TRUE, 
  collate_fn = collate_fn,
  num_workers = 16,
  worker_init_fn = function(.) {torchaudio::set_audio_backend("audiofile_loader")},
  worker_globals = c("pad_sequence") # pad_sequence is needed for collect_fn
)

ds_test <- dataloader(
  test_subset, 
  batch_size = 64, 
  shuffle = FALSE, 
  collate_fn = collate_fn,
  num_workers = 8,
  worker_globals = c("pad_sequence") # pad_sequence is needed for collect_fn
)

Model definition

Instead of keras::keras_model_sequential(), we are going to define a torch::nn_module(). As referenced by the original article, the model is based on this architecture for MNIST from this tutorial, and I’ll call it ‘DanielNN’.

dan_nn <- torch::nn_module(
  "DanielNN",
  
  initialize = function(
    window_size_ms = 30, 
    window_stride_ms = 10
  ) {
    
    # spectrogram spec
    window_size <- as.integer(16000*window_size_ms/1000)
    stride <- as.integer(16000*window_stride_ms/1000)
    fft_size <- as.integer(2^trunc(log(window_size, 2) + 1))
    n_chunks <- length(seq(0, 16000, stride))
    
    self$spectrogram <- torchaudio::transform_spectrogram(
      n_fft = fft_size, 
      win_length = window_size, 
      hop_length = stride, 
      normalized = TRUE, 
      power = 2
    )
    
    # convs 2D
    self$conv1 <- torch::nn_conv2d(in_channels = 1, out_channels = 32, kernel_size = c(3,3))
    self$conv2 <- torch::nn_conv2d(in_channels = 32, out_channels = 64, kernel_size = c(3,3))
    self$conv3 <- torch::nn_conv2d(in_channels = 64, out_channels = 128, kernel_size = c(3,3))
    self$conv4 <- torch::nn_conv2d(in_channels = 128, out_channels = 256, kernel_size = c(3,3))
    
    # denses
    self$dense1 <- torch::nn_linear(in_features = 14336, out_features = 128)
    self$dense2 <- torch::nn_linear(in_features = 128, out_features = 30)
  },
  
  forward = function(x) {
    x %>% # (64, 1, 16001)
      self$spectrogram() %>% # (64, 1, 257, 101)
      torch::torch_add(0.01) %>%
      torch::torch_log() %>%
      self$conv1() %>%
      torch::nnf_relu() %>%
      torch::nnf_max_pool2d(kernel_size = c(2,2)) %>%
      
      self$conv2() %>%
      torch::nnf_relu() %>%
      torch::nnf_max_pool2d(kernel_size = c(2,2)) %>%
      
      self$conv3() %>%
      torch::nnf_relu() %>%
      torch::nnf_max_pool2d(kernel_size = c(2,2)) %>%
      
      self$conv4() %>%
      torch::nnf_relu() %>%
      torch::nnf_max_pool2d(kernel_size = c(2,2)) %>%
      
      torch::nnf_dropout(p = 0.25) %>%
      torch::torch_flatten(start_dim = 2) %>%
      
      self$dense1() %>%
      torch::nnf_relu() %>%
      torch::nnf_dropout(p = 0.5) %>%
      self$dense2() 
  }
)

model <- dan_nn()


device <- torch::torch_device(if(torch::cuda_is_available()) "cuda" else "cpu")
model$to(device = device)

print(model)

Model fitting

Unlike in tensorflow, there is no model %>% compile(…) step in torch, so we are going to set loss criterion, optimizer strategy and evaluation metrics explicitly in the training loop.

loss_criterion <- torch::nn_cross_entropy_loss()
optimizer <- torch::optim_adadelta(model$parameters, rho = 0.95, eps = 1e-7)
metrics <- list(acc = yardstick::accuracy_vec)

Training loop

library(glue)
library(progress)

pred_to_r <- function(x) {
  classes <- factor(df$classes)
  classes[as.numeric(x$to(device = "cpu"))]
}

set_progress_bar <- function(total) {
  progress_bar$new(
    total = total, clear = FALSE, width = 70,
    format = ":current/:total [:bar] - :elapsed - loss: :loss - acc: :acc"
  )
}

epochs <- 20
losses <- c()
accs <- c()

for(epoch in seq_len(epochs)) {
  pb <- set_progress_bar(length(ds_train))
  pb$message(glue("Epoch {epoch}/{epochs}"))
  coro::loop(for(batch in ds_train) {
    optimizer$zero_grad()
    predictions <- model(batch[[1]]$to(device = device))
    targets <- batch[[2]]$to(device = device)
    loss <- loss_criterion(predictions, targets)
    loss$backward()
    optimizer$step()
    
    # eval reports
    prediction_r <- pred_to_r(predictions$argmax(dim = 2))
    targets_r <- pred_to_r(targets)
    acc <- metrics$acc(targets_r, prediction_r)
    accs <- c(accs, acc)
    loss_r <- as.numeric(loss$item())
    losses <- c(losses, loss_r)
    
    pb$tick(tokens = list(loss = round(mean(losses), 4), acc = round(mean(accs), 4)))
  })
}



# test
predictions_r <- c()
targets_r <- c()
coro::loop(for(batch_test in ds_test) {
  predictions <- model(batch_test[[1]]$to(device = device))
  targets <- batch_test[[2]]$to(device = device)
  predictions_r <- c(predictions_r, pred_to_r(predictions$argmax(dim = 2)))
  targets_r <- c(targets_r, pred_to_r(targets))
})
val_acc <- metrics$acc(factor(targets_r, levels = 1:30), factor(predictions_r, levels = 1:30))
cat(glue("val_acc: {val_acc}nn"))

Making predictions

We already have all predictions calculated for test_subset, let’s recreate the alluvial plot from the original article.

library(dplyr)
library(alluvial)
df_validation <- data.frame(
  pred_class = df$classes[predictions_r],
  class = df$classes[targets_r]
)
x <-  df_validation %>%
  mutate(correct = pred_class == class) %>%
  count(pred_class, class, correct)

alluvial(
  x %>% select(class, pred_class),
  freq = x$n,
  col = ifelse(x$correct, "lightblue", "red"),
  border = ifelse(x$correct, "lightblue", "red"),
  alpha = 0.6,
  hide = x$n < 20
)

Model accuracy is 87,7%, somewhat worse than tensorflow version from the original post. Nevertheless, all conclusions from original post still hold.
